CONVENE: Gather diverse cross-sections of people to explore how to bring renewal and flourishing to Richmond as they pursue their daily work.

What We're About

Two key terms guide our work at Common Good RVA. Here's what they mean to us...

COMMON GOOD: Flourishing for all—to work for the common good of Richmond is to work in ways that promote the flourishing of everyone in our city.

VOCATION: The responsibilities, activities, and relationships to which we are called and which we pursue daily.

How We Got Here

Common Good RVA is an idea born in the summer of 2012 when several faith communities decided to work together for the common flourishing of the city. Our first, two-day conference with 250 in attendance was held in January 2013. Since then we've held annual conferences and quarterly panels to help Richmonders explore how their vocations contribute to the common good.
